An upgrade of the SKF @ptitude Analyst surveillance condition monitoring software and the SKF Multilog IMx-M 19" rack based machinery monitoring system presents operators of critical rotating machinery with an integrated solution that both monitors asset condition, and protects against catastrophic failure.

Gothenburg, Sweden, 30 June: SKF has launched the SKF @ptitude Analyst 2013 version 8.1 software upgrade, which further enhances the capability of this analysis and reporting software, as well as an upgrade to the on-line protection system - Multilog IMx-M. When used in combination to monitor plant semi critical and critical rotating assets these two products offer both machinery protection and improved maintenance efficiency.

SKF @ptitude Analyst is a surveillance condition monitoring application under SKF @ptitude Suite; SKF’s software suite for plant- wide Condition Based Maintenance. It offers a comprehensive solution with powerful diagnostic and analytical capabilities that enables users to manage asset condition data from offline portable and on-line permanently installed devices with a single software program. The software is easy to use and offers interconnectivity with multiple enterprise-wide software programs and systems, enabling the information gathered to be accessed throughout the organization.
